First serialized in 1936, At the Mountains of Madness stands as H.P. Lovecraft's most ambitious tale of cosmic terror. Blending hard-edge polar adventure with unfathomable mythos, the novella chronicles the Miskatonic University expedition that journeys deep into Antarctica-only to find a sprawling alien metropolis buried beneath the eternal ice.

This contemporary adaptation preserves Lovecraft's vast scale and creeping dread while streamlining the prose for twenty-first-century readers. As Professor William Dyer recounts the doomed mission, readers confront living fossils, shapeless shoggoths, and the haunting revelation that life on Earth is a cosmic accident-and the universe is monstrously indifferent.
